Tenacious. Hardworking. Passionate. Strong words to describe a powerful group of people.
The Friends of the Columbia Library, Inc. is a nonpro?t organization of area residents. Their
purpose is to support Lorain Public Library System’s Columbia Branch.
Leading the charge is Columbia Friends President Edwin Kovach. A Friends member since
the turn of the century, Kovach is serving a second time as president. He is also on the board of
trustees for the Lorain Public Library System.
“I like to be on top of things,” Kovach said.
And indeed he is. As of late, the Friends have held book sales to raise funds, co-sponsored
events and provided various prizes for library programs.
Columbia Branch Librarian supervisor Susan Spivey describes Kovach as a proactive leader.
“He puts a lot of time into the library and has lots of creative ideas,” she said. “He’s always look-
ing for ways to solve problems and get people interested.”
Friends groups provide monetary support for programs, projects and more that levy and state
funds cannot cover.
“We pick up some of the library costs. We fund about half of the programs,” Kovach said. “We
also make contributions to the library’s levy campaign.”
The Columbia Friends currently has roughly 70 members. Friends are also active promoting
the library to other area residents. They annually take part in Columbia’s Homecoming parade,
for example.
“They get our presence out there. They’ve been in the community for a long time and take
great pride in Columbia and their library. They really make the effort to make the Columbia
Branch Library a better place,” Spivey added.
A Columbia Station resident himself, Kovach notes that all of the Friends members are neces-
sary for the group to function. If you love your library and are interested in giving some of your
time, the Columbia Friends welcome you.
For more information about the Friends, call the Columbia Branch Library at 440-236-8751.

Strongsville Hobby of Elyria enjoys 31 years in business
Strongsville Hobby of Elyria, now going on their 31st year in the hobby business, with over 25 yrs. in Strongsville and nearly 7 in Elyria, has seen the hobby industry change over the
years - some good, and some bad. The owner, Jerry Ivancic, Jr., answers the following questions about the hobby business that people have wondered about for many years.
Q. How long have you been in the hobby business?
A. I have been in the hobby business nearly my entire life - over 30 yrs. I started with my father in 1984 in Strongsville racing electric cars all around Ohio helping to promote our store
and the hobby of remote control (r/c) cars.
Q. What makes your business so successful that you can be in business for nearly 31 years?
A. It takes a lot of hard work and listening to the customers and knowing what they want, knowing what is popular and the new “it” thing in the hobby - like Drones and brushless cars.
Q. What is a “Drone?”
A. A “Drone” is a slang term for “quad copter” or a ?ying vehicle with four blades. They have become the biggest thing in the hobby business over the last few years, ranging in size from
inchs to feet, and prices from $30 to $3000. We have them all. There is a lot said about Drones - some good and some bad, but it honestly just comes down to whose ?ying it. Like anything
else, if you take care of it and follow the rules, then they are great fun. It’s the hobby of the future, from kids playing inside and out, to companies using them for ?lming and cities using
them for police and mapping brake walls and water pipes.
Q. What type of advertising do you do to keep your name out there?
A. We do much of the common stuff, like newspaper, radio and tv ads, but we also spend a lot of time on facebook and twitter letting our customers know about our sales and special
programs we offer.
Q. What type of specials or programs do you offer?
A. We just started a new monthly program called the “All Access Membership,” which offers the members huge discounts on parts and vehicles, track passes and many other bene?ts that
you can see online at www.strongsvillehobby.com
Q. Do you have a Race Track?
A. Yes, we have a store side dirt race track that anyone can drive on with their own vehicle or we have vehicles to rent in the summer. It’s lots of fun for the kids and adults. Your member-
ship gets you free track time, that normally would cost you $10 a visit, which is why so many people are signing up for the membership because it pays for itself every visit you make.
Q. With Spring upon us and summer getting close, what’s your suggestion for anyone looking for a hobby?
A. I suggest getting into a new hobby or resurrecting an old one. There is so much to choose from now that you cant go wrong - from drones, helicopters, planes and rockets, to r/c trucks,
crawlers and cars that can go over 65mph. There is no time like the present to get outside and start enjoying the weather, as it never lasts long enough in Ohio. So, enjoy it while you can.
You’re never to young or old to start a hobby.
Q. What part of this business do you like the most?
A. I enjoy the interaction with the customers - from older customers ?nding us after years of losing us when we moved, to the new kids who are trying out r/c cars for the ?rst time. It’s a
blast getting to talk to all of them. Whether you have been doing this for 10 yrs.. or 10 min., you have something to contribute.
Q. What do you say to the people who think the hobby is dying?
A. I would tell them to look at how we keep growing year after year and how we keep getting new products and ?nding new ways to engage the customer. You can never stand still in this
business. You must always be growing and thinking of new ways to expand your hobby to more people.
Q. How do you bridge the gap between an older hobbyist and the new tech savvy hobbyist?
A. Sometimes it’s not easy. Older hobbyists are very stuck in their ways and don’t like to be told that they are wrong about there hobby, but that’s the problem with new or old hobbyists
- both think that their way is the only way. Honestly, I think they both need to give a little. I think the new, younger tech driver hobbyist can learn from the experience that the older hobbyist
has, and the older hobbyist can give in and see that there are new products out there and they can make your life in the hobby much better. One side is not better than the other, there is enough
room in this hobby for both. They both have to learn that their opinion is not the only one and there are other ways of doing this hobby.
Q. Has the internet hurt your business in any way?
A. Maybe at ?rst, but not so much now. People have come to realize the age old fact, “you get what you pay for.” If you want to save a few bucks but skimp on quality and hands on ser-
vice, then buy online, But, if you want over 30 years of experience with hands on help, then you come see us. There is a reason we are the largest hobby store in northern Ohio. People come
from other states just to see our store. It’s not an accident that we are this good. We have learned over the years from other businesses what not to do and we always listen to the customer to
know what to do. We are human and make mistakes, but we are honest and we learn from our mistakes. Always growing is always knowing.
Q. How can people contact you and check out these great hobbies?
A. People can ?nd us many ways. Start by coming in to see us at Strongsville Hobby of Elyria, 831 Chestnut Commons Dr., in Elyria (next to Walmart), or call 440-366-0665. You can
also ?nd us online at strongsvillehobby.com or like us on facebook or twitter @stronghobby84.
